[Verse 1]
Mother said come home
Father said come home
Sisters said come home
So my friends said come home
I said
[Chorus]
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see, I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
[Verse 2]
Then I heard a voice
Said "Son, you have a choice"
I then slapped my face
[Chorus 2]
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
It's too bright over here
I can shift, cannot steer
So I drive them away
For a while, then I stay
Little skinny, okay
I'm awake anyway
[Bridge]
Now I have to go home
Do as when in Rome
[Outro]
Let me be, I'm alright
Can't you see I'm just fine
Little skinny, okay
I'm asleep anyway
Let me be, I'm okay
I'm awake anyway
Toby's still laughing
It sounds fucking pretty good
I'm laughing, it's like
That's tight as shit, what are you talking about?
